Impending Adulthood

I went to the Air Force recruiter today, and here's what my future holds:

Sometime next week I turn in the paperwork, and the week after that I go to MEPS.
She told me that I should have a ship date within the next cycle, which is once a month. There is also a "Quick Ship" route where I go into the MEPS station every tuesday, and if for whatever reason someone who was supposed to ship out that day didn't show up or couldn't leave, I take their spot. So I'm looking at leaving within 3-6 weeks.

I'm kinda nervous about the Quick Ship, but I'm sure i'd be able to call my family before I got on the plane so that consoles me a bit. So I'm looking at..... In about 14 weeks from today I'll be done with boot camp, and going to technical school, then by about december I should know where I'm going to be stationed. Let's hope I go somewhere nice!
